[About loading different versions of a module at the same time]

The whole thing sounds whacky to me.

I don't really mind that @INC is searched for the most recent version of
a module, but otherwise, my solution would be simple: authors that don't
provide complete backward compatibility with older versions of the same
module, safe the bugs, and safe beta versions, should be kicked of CPAN.
